Interlude for Band

SKU: ML.013313060-S

As a young man, Andrew Pearce had fond memories of playing cornet in the local Youth Brass Band, where he first experienced the power and beauty of brass music. After completing 'The Maestro' concertino for Philip Cobb, he decided to write a more gentle and lyrical piece for him, which paid homage to his musical roots in the Salvation Army. 'Interlude' is ideal for a proficient solo cornet player in any brass band: tuneful, reflective and elegiac with lots of expression.

Andrew Pearce heeft goede herinneringen aan zijn jeugd bij de lokale Brass Band waar hij zijn eerste positieve muzikale ervaringen had. Na zijn compositie 'The Maestro' voor Philip Cobb besloot hij een meer warm en gedragen stuk voor hem te schrijven wat een homage is geworden aan het orkest van Het Leger des Heils waar hij vroeger in speelde. Interlude is perfect voor een bedreven solocornet, melodieus, reflecterend en elegisch met veel expressie.

Wilhe lm Stenhammar (1871-1927) was a Swedish pianist, conductor and composer. His compositions include incidental music, operas, concerts, two symphonies and choral works. Initially influenced above all by Wagner and Bruckner, Stenhammar increasingly welcomed in his music a Nordic colour as well as melodic and rhythmic characters typical of Swedish folklore. Completed in 1921, the cantata Sången (The Song) was Stenhammar's last major work, and its combination of harmonic richness and contrapuntal dexterity ensured it awarm reception. The Interlude connecting the two halves of the work is the only part frequently performed today. It begins by creating a serious andintimate atmosphere, then the music gradually unfolds in increasingly powerful sonorities. Towards the middle a noble brass chorale emerges, but neither this nor the following finely crafted climax manage to change the prevailing mood of subtle melancholy typical of late Romantic Scandinavian composers. This arrangement by Franco Cesarini will allow your audience to get to know this great composer unknown to most.

Ferenc Erkel (1810-1893) was a composer, pianist, conductor and teacher, a leading figure in 19th century Hungarian music, creator of Hungarian national opera. In his operas based on Hungarian history (Batori Maria: 1840, Hunyadi Laszlo: 1844, Bank ban: 1861, Dozsa Gyorgy: 1867, etc.), blending elements of the style of Bellini, Meyerbeer and Verdi with verbunkos he created a distinctively Hungarian opera genre. The 'Weapon Dance' is a popular ballet interlude in his opera Dozsa Gyorgy, and in Jozsef Pecsi's transcription youth wind orchestras can now add it to their repertoire.
